I also wish we weren't so obsessed with monogamy and other people's personal decisions. But I think, in many of these cases, it's not just people sleeping with whomever they want. It's John Edwards almost fucking up the Democratic Party's chance to win an election, or Petraeus allegedly causing a security breach Or,… Read more

I think the question still stands! I said that it was a class in my first sentence. Conceptually, I love the idea, but just because it's a class doesn't mean it doesn't entail masturbating in front of strangers. Read more
